Yes, it is true, the directional/locative focus indicates the thing/person
*where* the action took place, not *from* where the action originated. So,
since ablative indicates from or when, then ablative is not the word to
describe it.

Focused nouns where the verb is using the directional/locative take the
trigger, rather than the preposition "sa".
